For those of you following the saga, we’re building a patio in the back yard. So naturally, we have the radio on to provide some background music.
For the first few working weekends we had the radio on some random station. It’s the one where I heard Casey Kasem.
However, after hearing Pink! for the 3,435th time I cracked and shut the radio off. Silence is better than Pink! But the other day, The Wife® decided to try to find another radio station, and found one that we haven’t heard before.
It’s called 93.3 KDKB (Everything that Rocks). In addition to having a DJ of unidentifiable gender on the weekends (turns out it’s a chick), they play Rock music. You know, everything that rocks.
(They also pronounce the name of the station funny. Like it’s a name: “Katie Cabee”. It sounds odd. But I digress.)
Anyway, it turns out that there are wayyyyy more Rock songs that are entirely about Rock than I ever knew. It seemed like every third song had inane “Rock Rules” lyrics. I can only remember a few, but there are a ton more.
Here’s the partial list:
- There’s Only One Way To Rock – Sammy Hagar
- Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution – AC/DC
- For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) – AC/DC
- Rock and Roll All Nite – Kiss
- Detroit Rock City – Kiss
- R.O.C.K. In the U.S.A. – John Mellencamp (Don’t call me Bones. I mean Cougar.)
- And of course, Rock Me Amadeus – Falco
Feel free to add your own in the comments. Or don’t. Whatever.
